I think they replaced every one in Philly. Make work for criminal enterprises.
Owner operators are already making the most of what they have. One big trick is to widen the trailer by 2 to 4 inches at the roof line where it is rarely measured by dot. Another way is building belly boxes. The problem with using a cab like that is forklift access and load shift in a wreck. You would be amazed ay how efficient truck drivers can be.
I thought about that when I posted and did check to be sure.
But...they online job listing show OTR jobs that require single night and multiple night runs.
Even on a dedicated run that would be one overnight and sleeping in a sleeper that according to their graphic is 10% smaller.
you sound like a liberal resorting to the word hate instead of addressing the position of those you disagree with
they’re over the road drivers sleep overnight
I just showed the graphic to my friend who is a long haul trucker and that is the first thing he noticed. Trucks bounce bad enough inside as it is.
That said, if you're loading efficiently (heavy on the bottom, light on the top), there shouldn't be much room for any load shift, and I'd reserve the forward compartment for really light, compressible, but bulky stuff (plastic storage lockers, household paper products like paper towels and TP). With no 'headache rack', you wouldn't want cargo with high mass right there that might keep moving if the front of the truck stops suddenly.
If you look at the UPS doubles, the ones I have seen have a short cab over with two trailers, both of which have low decks and skirts like moving vans.
What position would that be? Walmart is evil because you don't like them?
You don't like Walmart and they upset you, you stated that very clearly.
You are the one that acts like a liberal, you have no position to address.
I can't address your poor, hurt feelings and your "dislike" (can't use the word hate, it is too hurtful for your sensitive feelings) of Walmart.
I'll say it again, don't like'm, don't shop there.
Take a warm glass of milk and you'll nap better today.
You are the one that brought up the subject of hate and evil. All I did was say it is typical of Wal-Mart to reduce the size of the sleeper.
And now like a typical liberal you are avoiding the subject.
Try directly responding to the statement. Is it typical of Wal-Mart recduce the size of the sleeper?
If you want to say that is not a true statement, that's legitimate. But to just jump off the liberal deep end and try to support your argument by throwing out the hate card, well, that just real liberal of you.
Again, what do you think of the Wal-Mart proposal to reduce the sleeper by 10 percent?
Why guess when we can know? There was a time on FR when people would research a question before blurting out an opinion based only on "I doubt..."
Yes, I know I'm being persnipity. I'm in a foul mood.
It is just not a legitimate debating point is what I am trying to explain to you. And you don't hurt my feelings when you resort to the word "hate" as a retort. Too many people these days cower in the face when that is the retort to an issue. For example, when it comes to discussion of the border security, far too many run for cover as soon as liberals toss the hate card into the debate. In other words, I'm not falling for it. What I am doing is asking you to come back to the conversation with a legitimate debating point.
